Description

Aphiline

Phytoline contains the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis. This species is a highly active hunter and has become a standard spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) treatment in many crops. It develops twice as fast as the spider mite at humidity levels that are above 60% (unfavorable to spider mites), which allows a rapid control of outbreaks. A female Phytoseiulus can destroy ten spider mite females and their progeny in just seven days under optimum conditions. It is less effective on Carmine mite (T. cinnabarinus).
